First impression is great. Many tools do something similar, but so far, out of the box, this seems promising.

Hi Murat, Thank you so much for the kind feedback — we really appreciate it. We’re glad PinchBar made a strong first impression and feels promising. That’s exactly the kind of lightweight, useful experience we’re aiming for. Thanks again for giving it a try.

Nice features, just seems to be a conflict with PopClip which pushes the Pinchbar icon away not giving me the time to click on it! I’m not a big fan of the icon which is quite large. I’d also like the top menu bar icon not to have an ugly white border around it! Finally, would be great if there was a Pinchbar PopClip extension so that I could get rid of the large icon that shows up after selecting text.

Hi Olivier, Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback — really appreciate it. Totally understand what you mean about PopClip and the PinchBar icon getting in each other’s way. The selected-text flow should feel quick and lightweight, not like you have to fight with overlapping tools or a large icon. We’ll take a closer look at how the icon behaves, its size, and the menu bar appearance. Thanks again for taking the time to share this with us.

I really like this little fella. Two things though … 1. the little crab tends be in the way, especially with PopCap enabled 2. With Bartender installed after every update the icon gets moved to the ‘Always hidden’ section that prevents the app from launching and getting access to the settings.

Hi there, Thanks a lot — we’re really happy you like PinchBar. We understand both points. We’ll look into making the crab less intrusive, especially when PopCap is enabled, and we’ll also check what’s happening with Bartender after updates so accessing PinchBar and its settings stays reliable.

*UPDATE: developer suggestion fixed copy/paste issue. Fact Check is still weak (but it’s a difficult problem.) Doesn’t seem to work as it should. You have to select text, copy it, open the applet, select it again, and then you can do things with it. It’s actually more steps than what native programs provide. For example, the “fact check” feature which could be very handy, won’t just let you select text and hit Ctrl 3. You have to go through all the steps above - which is more steps than just using ChatGPT. It’s also not very good at fact checking.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the update — we’re glad the suggestion helped fix the copy/paste issue. We also appreciate your feedback on Fact Check. It’s definitely a challenging feature to get right, and we’ll keep improving its quality in future updates.

Pinchbar is a neat little utility — lightweight, fast, and gets out of your way. Exactly what a text AI tool should be. That said, I'm a bit disappointed it only supports Setapp AI and Apple Intelligence. It would be significantly more useful if it allowed users to configure a custom base_url, API token, and model name — so you could plug in your own provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models via Ollama, etc.). A lot of power users already have API subscriptions they'd love to reuse here. Hope the team considers opening this up. Would make Pinchbar genuinely hard to replace.

Hi Kamus, Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback and kind words about PinchBar — we really appreciate it. We understand why having more flexibility around AI providers would be useful, especially for power users. This is an option we’re already considering for future updates, though we don’t have a specific timeline to share just yet. Thanks again for taking the time to share this with us.

how may I choose the language for the translation ?

Réponse du développeur

Hi there, Right now, the translation language can be adjusted through the prompt used for the Translate action in app Settings > Actions. You can edit the prompt and specify the target language there.

Cannot use it, always get “API error: Setapp Al credits exhausted. Check your Setapp subscription.” These is no problem with my Setapp subscription. “Setapp Al+ is active, Al access is included in your Setapp subscription. No extra API key needed. “ I also checked “Use Apple Intelligence if Setapp Al is unavailable”

Réponse du développeur

Hi there, Thanks for reporting this. This error is related to Setapp AI+ availability/credits, so it may not be something PinchBar can resolve directly on its side. That said, we’d still like to take a closer look and understand why Apple Intelligence fallback didn’t work as expected. Could you please contact us at [email protected] and include a screenshot of the error and your PinchBar AI provider settings? That would help us investigate the issue better.

I started using the app recently and am really enjoying it. However, I found an issue when using it with the Windows App (AVD). If you select text, it gets replaced with a few 'c' characters. I tried adding it to the ignored apps list, but I still encounter the same issue.

Hi Simon, Thanks for the kind words — we’re glad you’re enjoying PinchBar. The issue with selected text being replaced by a few “c” characters in Windows App / AVD definitely doesn’t sound expected. We’ll investigate what’s causing it and work on a fix. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.
